Freezer Cooking Stage 2 Souper Good Meat Loaf

With winter closing on us here in Northern Minnesota I am in the mood to cook and get some freezer meals ready for cold nights and easy cooking.
I do not want to spend hours at one time cooking enough food for a month or more. So I am doing it in stages. Our freezer is really only the top of a refrigerator so could not get that much in any way.
Here is Stage 2 Souper Good Meat Loaf .. Stage 1 was our really tasty Chili

My recipe for meat loaf is off the Lipton Onion soup box.

The recipe calls for two pounds of hamburger

To the hamburger I added 1 package of onion soup mix

2 egg

1/3 cup of ketchup

16 or so crushed saltine crackers

1 Tablespoon of Worcester sauce.

3/4 cup of water

Mix all ingredients together and shape into 2 loafs.

We then baked for an hour if we plan to eat right away.. This makes 8 servings.

I like to take the left overs and add them to left over baked or boiled potatoes and make a home made hash for another meal

Rather than bake today I have shaped into 2 loafs and wrapped into Aluminum foil. I am freezing these for future meals.



That is stage 2 of my Freezer Cooking Plan.. I now have 3 dinners of Chili for 2, 1 light lunch for 2 and 2 meat loafs that for the 2 of us will make 4 meals.


Thanks for stopping by.. Lets keep saving together .. and watch for stage 3 Freezer meals coming. I have 3 pounds of ground beef waiting for me to make meals with... Grace

Whats For dinner How About Some Meat Loaf

I had planned to have meat loaf last week but with things happening around here, I did not get to make it.
With Krogers having ground chuck on sale, tonight was the night. And it was great. We added Baked pototoes and Squash.
My recipe for meat loaf is off the Lipton Onion soup box. The box calls for two pounds of hamburger. I cut the recipe in half for the two of us.
To the hamburger I added 1/2 package of onion soup mix, 1 egg, 1/3 cup water,a couple of tablespoons of ketshup, 8 crushed saltine crackers and a 1/2 tsp of Worchester sauce. Baked for an hour.

And best of all we have half a meat loaf and several potatoes for homemade hash for early dinner tomorrow night.
